The game was stopped in the 72nd minute when Lawrence slid to hit a ball and went down.

Lawrence stayed facedown, not moving, for several minutes and was eventually put into a neck brace and carted off. He raised his hand, taking Marsch's hand as he was being wheeled off.

Bradley-Wright Phillips' two second-half goals were enough to bag NYRB the victory. New York has won four in a row, out-scoring its opponents 12-4 during that span.

Wright-Phillips headed home Michael Murillo's cross to the center of the box to give the Red Bulls a 2-1 lead in the 51st minute. About four minutes later, Wright-Phillips capped the scoring with a header, off an entry from Alejandro Romero Gamarra, that banged in off the crossbar.

Atlanta's Ezequiel Barco put away a deflected through pass from Miguel Almiron to open the scoring in the 26th minute.

Daniel Royer converted from the spot in the 42nd to make it 1-1 after Wright-Phillips drew a foul in the area conceded by Miles Robinson.

Atlanta lost for just the second time since opening day.

Wright-Phillips has eight goals this season, tied with Almiron and Columbus' Gyasi Zardes for the most in MLS. Atlanta's Greg Garza was shown a straight red card in the 71st minute for a serious foul.
